If you've already started to train orthodox then I would recommend staying there.
Because I believe that most of the converted southpaws (or converted orthodox) fighters started out fighting that way.
Unless you want to be a switch hitter like Hagler and Andre Ward then you should just practice, practice, practice!

I would think if you trained in a boxing gym and you are left handed the trainers will start you off in southpaw stance. Sometimes you do have converted southpaws too. I wouldn't even convert unless you are a lot better in a southpaw stance than a orthodox stance.
my left jab in orthodox is very fast and accurate it lands basically anytime i throw it ---but the problem is its not that strong pressure fighters swarmers and people with great chins usually juss eat my orthodox jabs and juss come forward with combination's because they dont respect the power of my orthodox jab-------------
so recently i did some experimenting to cut a long story short i found out my right jab in southpaw has about 80 percent of the strength of my right straight in orthodox im juss starting to learn southpaw but when i spar in southpaw my right jab gets respect like it can push people back like a straight right---i dropped 1 0r 2 people using my right jab in southpaw------
but no one has ever gotten dropped from my left jab in orthadox but also i found also it feels natural for me to throw it (but also for whatever reason the southpaw stance does feel more natural to me then the orthodox stance like i have the potential to become a converted southpaw also known as a right handed southpaw or atleast a switchfighter what do you think?

It does sound like you have been experimenting good things in a southpaw. How is your left hand in sparring when your in a southpaw stance ? You said southpaw feels more natural than just keep practicing in southpaw. You said your jab is good in orthodox so I say practice in both. Get it in in sparring. See what feels good what feels right. Get a feel for your style. And just fight the way you feel most comfortable. When your calm and comfortable is when you perform well.
